things to be quite thankful for

Give thanks in all circumstances…

1 Thessalonians 5:18a

Indeed there are quite a lot of things to be thankful for in life. Although it seems as if I have perpetually ranted about my life here in my blogs, I still know that I have a lot to be thankful for. In view of WordPress’ Thanksgiving Video Contest, I made two videos on the things I am thankful for.

I hope to win of course. I mean who wouldn’t especially with the prize in store. But even if I don’t I am grateful that the contest has first and foremost made me realize all the wonderful things I have to be thankful for even if this year is not really the best year for me. Second, because of the contest I got to renew my passion for “video editing” and as such learn some new softwares like Adobe Premiere. I hope to come up with a third video, this time, using Swishmax. But that one is still in the works.

For now here are the videos:

This video was made with Windows Movie Maker, the first video making software I ever learned about.

This video was made from Adobe Premiere. I know I still have a lot of features to explore but for now I hope what I did suffice.

Music Credits: O Saya by A.R. Rahman and M.I.A. from Slumdog Millionaire OST || Photo Credits: Mostly are mine but some were grabbed from friends’ photos and some were searched from Google.

I am excited to see what would become of my Swishmax creation but for now, since that program is still being downloaded, then this is what I’ve come up with.
